hello and welcome
Provera tablets (medroxyprogesterone acetate tablet) is a progestin indicated for the treatment of secondary amenorrhea and abnormal uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance in the absence of organic pathology, such as fibroids or uterine cancer.
it can be used to reduce the incidence of endometrial hyperplasia

it should not be used with any of the following conditions:

Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding
Known, suspected, or history of cancer of the breast
Known or suspected estrogen- or progesterone-dependent neoplasia
Active deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or a history of these conditions
Active or recent (within the past year) arterial thromboembolic disease (for example, stroke and myocardial infarction)
Known liver dysfunction or disease
Missed abortion
Known hypersensitivity

I hope you find my response informative as well as helpful
